Inner Village Zones

Kumogakure is protected by a combination of impassable rock formations and sheer unclimbable cliff faces. The only access to and from the village is located within the Dragon Tooth Pass, where an opening was once blasted through stone in ancient times through means impossible to replicate today. This gap is now protected by the village gates, overseen by guard towers staffed with shinobi at all times. These men and women are constantly on alert for attempts at trespass or unlawful egress. This is the village gates! You must post here to enter or leave Kumogakure.

The economic and entertainment epicenter of Cloud. It is a host to many clubs, restaurants, theaters, hotels, couture shops, specialty stores, and much more. The Dawnbringer Plaza bustles with life as Cloud's village square while the outskirts thrive on the shady and sordid dealings of the more discreet customer. Caveat emptor.

The center of all village administerial supremacy and policy. The tower itself is constructed from an intricately masoned onyx-like mineral harvested from Dragon Tooth Path, specifically designed to reflect the multitude of stars at night and to stand prominently against the blue skies during the day. The doors, ornate with with the chiseled pictorial history of Cloud, are always open to the many plights of the subjects it serves.

Towards the north eastern region of Kumogakure lies a district known as the Nimbus Delactatio. This region is known as such for its more natural resources and areas for the local population to enjoy. The more well known areas in the district are the Ancient Forest and the Nimbus Springs, yet there are more places than just these. A Greenhouse maintained by the local Yamanaka Clan sits on the outskirts of the forest, a central location amongst a botanical gardens. Several stone paths cross natural streams on the outskirts of the forest and a large grassy field also offer many uses to Kumogakurean's and visitors alike.

The Academy is a three story pagoda, well-maintained despite the many years of lesson-induced damage and climate-based degradation. It is located near man-fashioned forests on the cliff of one of Cloud's more majestic mountains. It has educated generations of loyal servants and all of Cloud's most famous leaders with its wide variety of classes ranging from basic training to the advanced techniques utilized by specialized ANBU squads. The Dojo Annex, recently re-opened to the entire shinobi population, was once built by a student, has since been expanded heavily to a high-quality training facility where shinobi can train, practice dueling, or run an obstacle courses with over a half-million different configurations.

Legends of ages pasts describe an ancient conflict between a draconic demon and a mortal man named Raiden, whose battles wreaked havoc across the world. The only aftermath that remained were the corpses of the combatants, and upon the corpses vows were made. The vows remain inherent among the sentries of ANBU, whose lavishly furnished base lie deep within the recesses of the mountains, and with the grave of Raiden as well.
